I'm planning on selling my DNA (with a Nokia wireless charger) and Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet around the time the Note 3 is released. The Note 3 will essentially be a faster, higher resolution, and more portable (albeit smaller) version of the Note 10.1, which I love. I also have a DNA, which is the main reason I'm here.
My DNA has a few small scratches at the top of the screen over the verizon logo (not part of the actual screen) and a very small knick on the bottom left edge of phone which isn't very noticeable at all. I don't have any pictures of my phone to show, but you can trust that my description is accurate as I'm trying to accurately gauge what I can get out of the phone money-wise. Other than what's previously mentioned, the phone is in perfect condition. Runs well, very smooth, etc etc. Assuming I maintain the phone until September/October, how much can I expect to get out of it? I've seen listings on Ebay for around $325-$400 used, and I expect I can get just a little bit more by including the charger.
I'm curious to know if time was anything to do with the resale value. Will I be able to get the same $325-$400 out of it if I keep using it for about 4 months longer? I've had it since Christmas, so I'd have been using it for about 9 months. I assume the value would drop a little bit, but I'm not sure how much.
Thanks in advance for the help, I appreciate it!
I'm sure with the introduction of new devices like Galaxy s4 an HTC One or the Note 3 will most definitely lower your resale value on your device to the low end of things.
Its pretty much how it works with electronics they get obsolete really quick.

I also look at these things. I've been doing it for 6 years. I try to buy and sell during the smallest drop where the phone is still relevant. I find that to be buying at 400-450 and selling at 250-300. Usually i buy around 4-6 months after a phone comes out and sell it after owning for just less than a year. The DNA dropped in price quick. I was able to grab it just after 3 months for $375, i expect to see $300 around August when i will probably get the S4.
with that said, Verizon and sprint lose value much quicker because of the lack of true GSM, though sprint is worse by far. I am predicting this phone to be around 325 come august and 275 by christmas. then it will stabilize at 200-250 for another year. We are in the quick downfall period for the phone. Also Brands matter. I've found Samsung galaxy to be the best retainer followed by HTC, then Moto and LG.
here's how it usually flows.
A typical new phone that retails for $650
First 3 months Loss of < 150(500)
Next 3 months Loss of <100 (400)
next 3 months loss of <75 (325)
next 3 months loss of <75(250)
next 12 months loss of <50 (200)
I'll second the $300 estimate for late summer. It's a decent time to sell as the pre Christmas phones haven't been announced yet. Once that happens the value will go into the $hitter.

The Note 2 is retailing around $700 online at Verizon right now, so I think it'd be safe to assume the Note 3 will be around $750-$800 when it's first released? And how long would it be until I could probably buy a Note 3 off amazon or ebay at a slightly lower price? Thanks for the replies guys, I appreciate it.

The Note2 price on Verizon did not hold up very well. I think the big size eventually turns off users who really were not expecting that which creates a larger than average resale market. When i bought my DNA back in March, there were NOTE2 going straight up for trades with the DNA which you could easily have gotten for $375-$400. Both devices came out in November but the Note 2 retailed much higer at $700. That's a $300 drop in 4 months. If i was in the market for a Note, i'd wait 4 months. It dropped about a hundred a month those 1st 4 months and since has stabilized and even gone up a little.

Sam's Club was giving away Note II's on Verizon as early as January. I could see the Note III being the same.
There are a lot of exciting and new phones/tablets coming out soon. Android 4.3 is out, the Galaxy Note III is around the corner, there is a new Nexus 7, Moto X is coming, etc. Are you tempted to buy any of these devices?
How long are you planning to keep your Samsung Galaxy Note before upgrading to another phone or simply not using it anymore?
I'll probraly get the note 4 , heh

lol ive already went through one and am on my second. the first went into a lake, bounced off concrete, and just finally the screen went out on me 2 months ago. i had all these accessories so i figured id just get another. then when this one dies i'll get something different.
Really you must be bored ........
••••changes with every flash••••
I am done with contract phones. I like my note and as long as it functions normally I see no reason to upgrade it. I have 4 phones on my plan and the last contract ends in September. After that I'm going to try straight talk or TMobile. Of my 4 phones, I have 1400 minutes, two data plans, nation wide, unlimited texting and I get a 25% discount through my job and I'm still paying $200 a month. If I switched to ST or TM, I can get 4 phones with full data....etc for the same price. Granted you don't get 4G LTE, but I really wouldn't miss that HSPA+ and 3G is good enough for me.
When one of my phones dies, I'll gladly search Craigslist and buy something to replace it used...
I just finally dumped my ATT Uverse...... ATT sucks
Just until i can get a deal on either Note 3 or Mega. Whichever is bigger and i can get refurb deal on. Last purchase i got 2 S3's and Note for $100

Currently there is not a phone on the market that I would take over my Note. As for the up and coming devices pretty much all we have are unfounded rumors. I am looking forward to the Note 3 release and if it has the size and features that I want I imagine that it will be my next upgrade. But there again I'll be waiting to find out exactly what these new phones have in them before I do anything. :fingers-crossed:
Waiting for the next Note but Im sure ill keep the one i have

im keeping my i717 but im jumping over to the z ultra once released as my daily
I'll probably pick up a clean used Note 2 this fall once the 3 comes out, primarily for battery life. I also want to get the TMobile version this time. I've been spending a lot of time in Milwaukee and my TMO S2 just does better than the Note. I might even ditch my 7.0+ when I get the new phone.
Note 3 or Moto X for me. I'm hoping a dev of my old phone will move to Moto X when it releases and if he does then I'm sold.

Love my Note may get the Note 3 or Mega whichever they are gonna call it. But I will always keep my OG Note until it dies on me.
I'm sticking with my Note i717 until Note 3 is out AND has good Cyanogenmod support. Can't stand using non-AOSP ROMs. I will never buy a device without a wacom stylus again, the Note has proven it to be a great feature. I like the 5+ inch screen size as well. I wish Note 3 went back to 16:10 (maybe 1920x1200) but I'll probably still get it regardless as long as there's a T-Mobile supported version I can get off contract, and preferably with a Qualcomm SoC because Exynos sucks for open source ROMs it seems.

I live between Milwaukee and Chicago. Try flashing the TMO UVLG3 modem. I've had the best results with that.
As long as devs port the newest Android OS to the Note, I will most likely stick with it. I don't like the physical Home button, on newer Galaxy S# and Note# phones. Maybe the Galaxy Mega or HTC One Max (if it has an SD card slot).
For FOREVER. If it will last that long c: I'd say at most . . . two years. I just ordered my Note a few days ago off of eBay and I'm patiently waiting for it to arrive. I'm leaving my Pantech Burst behind (I'm gonna miss it), but this phone will be an upgrade. I can't wait to see what it can do
Will be upgrading in Sept.

I'm patiently waiting for the Note 3. I just recently purchased the AT&T S4's for my wife and two sons and they are great devices, yet I love the larger screen on the Note. I've had the Note since it came out and waited on it for about 4-6 months prior to release after reading about it. Since purchase I have many cases, battery wall charger and 3 batteries (which in always carry 1 extra in pocket). If the Note came in a 6 inch screen like the Mega I'd love it, but the Mega's specs aren't very appealing to me. With the rumors mentioned about the Note 3 seems like I won't get 6 inch, more like 5.7 following the .2 increase from Note 1-2. Now regarding network I would NEVER go to anything less than LTE again after being spoiled with these blazing speeds of 60 mbps + . The service is sometimes almost 2x my home network speed (30 mbps Charter) and almost 5x the speed of regular U-Verse speed (10-12mbps if they are lucky). If been using JellyBean Sandwich Rom which has kicked every other ROMs butt (in my opinion) regarding stability, battery life and sheer performance and kept me satisfied with my Note 1. Hopefully we will see more about Note 3 soon.
My son is getting great battery life on his Note 2 even not rooted. I may go with the N2 or maybe the Note 3 if Samsung doesn't run it with the new Tizen operating system. I have been eagerly awaiting the N3 ...but fear they will ruin it.
Hey guys, I'm currently a galaxy nexus owner, have been since the day they released it almost 2 years ago. I'm elliglible to upgrade (verizon) in august, and i'm looking very heavily at the galaxy note 2. I've wanted this phone for a long time, and I would like to know if you would suggest someone to buy this phone right now, now it's about a year and a half old, or however old it is. Does it still oooh and aaah the way it did when it first came out? Usually I don't buy phones that old, but this phone just seems like it is still cutting edge. I was wanting to hear from you guys before I made my decision. Should I go with note 2 or hold out for the note 3? Do you think the note3 coming out will drop the price of hte note 2?
If you're holding on to your unlimited data, then buy the note 2 after 3 comes out, that'll knock down the price by some. If you're going to use the upgrade then wait for the3, which will be even more awesome. IMHO

Hello People,
I would like to know what Device did you replace your Note 7 for .
I replaced it with Note 7 edge
I went back to my Note 4. Had the S7E as a loaner phone and was not too impressed by it. Really missing my N7. I'll wait and see the price/reviews on the V20, but I'm okay for now.

Do you mean the S7 Edge?
Getting a Moto Z on Monday.
I bought today an Iphone 7 Plus 256GB Factory Unlocked after being since 2010 with Samsung.
If my refund doesn't come through (samsung.com US) i will never buy a product from this brand. I'm angry (and i'm never am). I have bought them almost every single phone, accessory, watch in a 6 months or 1 year upgrade cycle. Now, i am reading that Samsung doesn't know which customer is returning their phones ? (on the stericycle return box)
Screw you! Had enough!
Nexus 6p with a $300 bill credit and free case ($20 value) and was able to keep the free SD card. I also kept the accessories for both phones i had.
S7 Edge. Saved some money on my monthly sub as well. Will see me over until the next note.

Very sadly back to my Note 5 I previously owned the Notes 3 & 4, and Notes 10.1 & 12.2 - I need to have the S-Pen.
Poll needs a selection for exchanged for Note 7....really curious how many people are sticking it out.

Sold my Note 9 last night for the equivalent of 640 USD in my local currency. The retail price of the S10+ is 995 USD, but there's a pre-order cashback for about 70 USD, and the free Galaxy Watch (not Active, just a 42mm Watch) will help cover the difference. Never really cared much for the S Pen anyway; bought the Note 9 because of the massive battery and it was starting to disapppoint in that regard. Until the S10+ comes, I'll be back to my S7 (flat). Anyone else upgrading from the Note 9 to the S10+?
I also traded in my Note 9 EXynos for the S10+ 128gb Blue Unlocked Snapdragon! I never used the spen... ??
I always say I'm going to skip one of the models each year and I never do. I'm going from Note 9 to S10+ as well.

I can tell from your username lol.
Seems like an unnatural upgrade path unless you didn't rely on the S Pen. But then that raises the question, why buy a Note at all? I'm trading my Note 8 and plan on selling the S10 (waiting for N10). In the meantime I'll try to find a cheap N4 to sketch on.
Doing the dame thing here. Pre booked the 128/8Gb Prism White.
Preordered the s10 128gb version. As i live in Australia, I'll be getting the exynos variant.
For preordering, samsung is throwing galaxy buds on top for free - not bad at all.
Im interested to see how the snapdragon and the exynos versions compare in terms of performance. Will be upgrading from an A5 2017 which i have been barley using a year
trading in my note 9 for the s10+ white ceramic. I always wanted and liked the s pen but i still hardly use it. Bought the 10+ from samsung, unlocked. I was gonna give my note 9 to my gf but she's tired of the hand me downs ?. Maybe I'll get her the note 10
Doing the same with my note 9 for the plus will probably get the note 10 as well

Me too!
I just sold my note 9 to pick up the s10. I wanted a slightly less wide phone and barely used the s-pen. The S10 feels just right! I hope the battery is the same or better.
Same here. Leaving my note 9 to s10+.
I love the note serie. But the s10+ is a good compromise between note and galaxy serie. Plus the battery is massive and hopefully it feels this way.
I gave my two months old Note 9 to my younger brother and bought a new S10+ in blue I have to rock the S8 now and trade it in later
Same deal here. Sold my Note 9 and pre ordered the S10 plus 1TB in ceramic black.
Note 9 prices are in the toilet.
I ordered the S10 plus but am also keeping my copper Note 9...no way Im getting rid of this beauty!
Keeping my T-Mobile Note 9 but I'm gonna be using my S10E until I buy an Exynos Note 10 sometimes around February next year when prices will be right. I can't do this unlockable Samsung phone anymore since Google killed call recording. I can still do it on my Oreo Note 9 (not updating it anymore) and I still have my rooted One Plus 6T so call recording is still in my hands when I need it.
Reason I ordered the 10E is because of how great it felt in the hand when I was testing out the display unit at Best Buy last week. Just going to be nice to use a smaller phone like that for a while and get used to the new UI stuff, that great new camera stuff and the awesome new display tech.
The S-Pen is the main reason why I've been a Note user literally since the AT&T Note 1, so that's why I'm keeping the Note 9 around in case I get the itch to use it again. Plus, I have my Tab S4 which also has its own S-Pen.
I traded my Note 9 for the S10+. I'll probably still buy the Galaxy Note 10 too! :laugh:
I am trading in my note 8 for the plus, but I will always love the note series. I suspect I will be just as anxious to get the note 10 when it's announced and will probably give the wife the 10+ at that point and go back to the note series. You all know the note 10 is gonna be amazeballs
